This really is a tricky thing to do yourself, so I suggest that you 
at the very least find someone skilled at this to do it for you. 
Watch if you can. The guys who do this understand what they can get

I suggest that you call around. Maybe even talk to some body shops to 
get some recommendations for people who deal with cars like this.
